Spookily authentic, with many original features, including bullet-holes.

I had been wanting to come to the Birdcage Theater for years. So, I booked an entire trip to Arizona, just to come here! We stayed in Tombstone for several days, and we toured the theater twice. It was worth every penny/second spent. A lover of American and Western history, this place was sooooo beautiful. All of the artifacts and... More

In a tourist trap of boutiques and staged gun fights the Birdcage Theater brings the old west to life. Over 20 people died in the place in gun and knife fights. Doc Holiday dealt pharaoh there. In the main theater hall that houses the stage it is very easy to imagine a Saturday night 130 years ago with drinking, gambling... More

I am on my first trip ever out of Maine. I visited tombstone and expected a lot more history then i found. I was a bit upset at how all the old buildings had been turned into over priced yuppy art gallery's. The only place in tombstone that hasn't been messed with by greedy money hungry fellow Americans is the... More

Kind of pricey @ $20 each adult but still a fun time and one of the only cool things to do at night. Beware-no drinking 5 hours before the show or you can't go in! They don't get activity if there's any alcohol in the crowd.
